The Discovery Channel announced that this year’s Shark Week will start on July 22 and run until June 29, featuring 19 hours of shark programming. To say that Shark Divers are excited about the return of Shark Week 2018 is a bit of an understatement – it’s going to be fin-tastic!

A website aptly named whenissharkweek.com (though completely unaffiliated with Discovery) is counting down the days, hours, minutes, even seconds until Shark Week begins! You’ll also find some pretty epic Shark Week drinking games there too.

Perhaps people are extra pumped about Shark Week this year because it’s the program’s 30th anniversary. I know, it’s hard to believe that Shark Week has been around that long.

Cage Dive Dive Like It’s Shark Week

In honor of three decades of Shark Week entertainment, education, and general pop culture domination, Discovery brought in the big guns for its Shark Week this year. You can also go shark cage diving with great white sharks at Guadalupe on America’s Shark Boat this years from Aug-Nov our of San Diego, Ca.

We’re celebrating our 18th shark diving season this year! Join us!
